Labor of Love

This year for Valentine's Day I did not ask for flowers, or jewelry, or candy, or a card. I would rather get flowers or a card on 'normal' day, just because he thought of me. Not because Hallmark told him too.

I told Ralph I just wanted to work on the house.

I am so ready to move in.

So, that's what we did. We worked on the house. Specifically, Ralph worked on a project that I am so excited about. He worked in the kitchen, on the back splash, putting up the thin brick.

Before I go any further, no it's not finished. The blue you see is the backer board, and will not be seen once the mortar is put in.

These thin brick are special for another reason. Ralph searched high and low for the ones I wanted. The place near here, where we were going to get them from, could not get them until mid February, early March. That was going to be too late. So, as I was looking at other possible colors, Ralph was looking for other suppliers. He found one, in Tampa and they had plenty. I'm so thankful, because they are perfect!

About Me

Sometimes I feel like I have it all figured out, then God reminds me it's not about me, but Him. Only He knows where my journey will lead, I just need to smell the fresh air and enjoy the dirt between my toes.
Joining me on my journey is my man Ralph. We have been a couple for over half my life - he will tell you a long time. And our 3 beautiful daughters - Madie(Madison), L-bug (Laney) and Mo Jo (Morgan).
